How Gen Scott Hanged Dogertors.

Letter in Boston Post
At the battle of Cherubusco in the
valley of Mexico, one of those series CT
battles which took place before tie
capital was captured, occurred one #
the most impressive acts of the entire
war [ mean as to its effect upon tie
men of the army. It was one of those
events which carried instant conviction
to the minds of the soldiers that discip-
line and allegiance to the flag were Of
paramount Importance. After des-
perate struggle the works were carried.
and among the captured were found q
number of deserters, men who joined
the Mexicans and served the guns
against their own comrades, and the
full force of their aid to the enemy is
apparent when it Is known that they
were nearly all trained artillerists. On
the discovery being made, intense in
dignation prevailed and nothing but
the strictest discipline and prompt
obedience to orders prevented the men
from dealing out instant vengeance
upon the dsserters.
But drum-head court martial decid
ed, with due formalitv, their fate,
which was to be hanged, ANONYMOUSLY.
in the presence of all the army then as
sembled. 1t must he understood that
a portion of the forces were then en-
gagged with the enemy at Chepultepac.
that almost inaccessible fortress, and
very stronghold of the enemy, holding
farther advance upon the city, and that
most desperate engagement was then
undecided. The men were drawn up
in due order, each with rope around
his neck-thirty deluded victims about
to receive merited punishment for base
ly deserving the flag. and turning the
enemy's guns against their own com
rades. The officer in charge, upon
whom devolved the duty, cast quick
glance in the direction of Chepultepec.
Suddenly thought seemed to impress
him, and he said "Let them stand till
they shall see the American flag upon
the heights of Chepultepec." With
breathless anxiety they waited. 1t was
a hard fought battle, the final result
being doubtful. Many brave men went
down to rise no more, and many man
carried the wounds there received
through life to his grave.
The gallant Col. Ransom of the New
England regiment yielded his life; Capt.
Mayne Reid, whom L knew, and others,
were wounded, and were among the first
to enter the work.
Suddenly shout went up that car,
rled relief to some, at least of those anx-
ious watchers and dismay to tho hearts
OF those men who stood awaiting their
doom. The heights had been carried
and the starry banner foated to the
breeze. All eyes then turned to the sad
spectacle before them. The deserters
stood motlonless as statues awaiting the
doom they could not shun. They had
taken the last look of the flag they had
sworn to protect and were sent "unan-
ointed and unannealed" to answer to the
last great roll call"

FROM SHOP AND MILL.
Dine Hundred aud Forty Coopers
Thrown Out of Work.
What the Legislature Can Do for the
Laboring Men.

The shop of the Hardwood Storage COM
pany, the largest cooper shop in Minneap-
oils, shut down yesterday, and is liable to
stay closed. One hundred and forty coop
ers are thrown out of employment but, as
they can get work at the other shop in pro-
portion to the increase of the demand for
barrels, the effect will not be so damaging
as it would seem. Concerning the cooper
situation. the Northwestern Miller says:
Indications point to serious difficulties
arising in Minneapolis cooper affairs. There
has been more or less dissatisfaction ever
Since the shops agreed in October to pay if
teen cent per ariel for making, the most of
them being unaDle to clear themselves with
these wages. The burden was especially on
erous to the boss shops, and almost as much
= to the co-operatil e hand shops. The latter,
in fact, in more than one instance were forced
to levy assessments on members to make up
for losses. The bosses had no recourse TO
such means for overcoming any d efficiency
smaller shops of the latter class
have lately found it necessary to
curtail their business. Robert Parr, the
proprietor of one of these, this
week notified his men. eight in number, that
he could not afford TO pay full wages any
lonrer, and closed up mis- shop. James Ken
nedy, roprietor of shop employing about
fifteen cooperS last week asked his men to
take some action which would ohviate the
necessity Of reducing his force, and the mat
ter is in allegiance at the present time. An
other thing which cannot fail 10 have q bear
Ing on the situation is the probable shutting
down, Saturday evening, of the Hardwood
Storage shop. This will throw about $50
journegmen coopers into temporary idleness,
and, unless considerable assistance is re-
ceived from their fellow workmen who are
employed, there will be a strong tend
ency to make concessions in wages.
The working coopers are strong and
well organized, and will doubtless make
a hard fight against any reduction in the
standard of wages fixed in October by con-
tract. This leaves local coopering affairs
very much unsettled, with prospect of a
good deal of trouble resulting before there is
any satisfactory settlement. 1t seems to US
the only way the working coopers can ever
hope 10 enjoy fair wages IN peace is by TAX
ing part in the regulation of the price of
barrels. If the millers pay enough for barrels
TO warrant reasonable wages being allowed
the cooper, the later is secure; but if this is
not done, he must expect ffic Guilty in getting
just compensation for his laOor. With stock
advancing as at present, the shops should re-
ceive more for their barrels, and it seems as
though the miller could afford to pay more.

THE SPECIAL MISSION.
What Representation in Legislative
Halls Can DO for the LabOring

"
Halls Can DO for the Laboring
Man.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In speaking of our labor representatives
conservative" in Sundays labor column,
seems to think they have no special mission
and can do no special good, as laws do not
benefit the mechanic; also, that our constitu-
ton is unhealthy; that competition is all
wrong, and that education does not benefit
the wage-worker. l think the article mis-
leading. In the, first place, if laws can do no
good they can do no harm, for if they were
powerless in one case, why not in both?
But it has been proven that laws
do affect labor and wages, such
as tariff laws, unequal taxation, and
SO the labor representative certainly has a
mission, and sacred one. If he has not the
eloquence or ability 20 devise and enact good
laws. then let him act as u watchdog to pre-
vent laws from being passed for the beueft
of the select and to the detrment of the
many. a preventative is as good as Il cure.
When law is quietly proposed granting eX-
elusive privileges to some monopoly to do So
and-so, and charge as it pleases, lei HIM, if he
cannot eXplostulate eioquently, imi-
tate the great objector (Hoimanl and
howl vigorously and call for help.
When his farmer colleagues imagine that
the initial step of reform is to baud over the
charge of the Legislature TO the hands of q
banker, l need not remind you that Il good
watch dog would howl by instinct; also, if d
snember of certain rings prefers measures
for the benefit of the suffering public, howl
ON general principles, instinct being uunec-
essary. He can in measure prevent laws
from being passed that destroys this very
competition that he wrongfully complains
of. Let him howl against gh tariff
that modern method of transferring money
from the pockets of overhauls 10 strong
boxes; against repeating internal taxes on
whisky and tobacco, us it is our most legiti-
mate source of revenue. And he goes on to
state that education will not raise wages,
1t may be not, but education and intelligence
will enable the Iaborer TO determine what his
labor is worth to capital, and if he is not
getting enough to justly demand more, for
with intelligence comes the knowledge that
capital needs labor just as bad as labor needs
capital. Do not rail at our constitution, but
give US paper bullets, education and free
competition. FAIR PLAY.
